Huggies have been with us since the beginning as one of the only diaper brands that didn’t cause a reaction with my son’s sensitive skin and kept him dry and protected. As a mother of five, over the years Huggies have only grown on me even more as a trusted brand. Not only because they’re a great brand of Diapers, but because they’re a brand that gives back in many ways.

Having children can be expensive, life can be expensive, and most days I am really grateful for the places within my community that allow my little ones to learn, create, and play at little to no cost.

They say the best things in life are free and that could be truer when it comes to the beautiful beaches, playgrounds and rec-centers within the community that inspire imagination, creativity, fun and adventure.

For my family it’s at the Holtsville Ecology Center that brings us fun and joy. The Holtsville Ecology Center is home to over 100 injured and non-releasable animals. It’s a place we go to learn about these very special animals, most who have physical or social handicaps that make them unsuited for the zoo or the wild. For these animals, without the Ecology Center they would have no home. This non-profit center relies solely on donations to feed and care for these animals, as admission is always free. Without the Holtsville Ecology site, where would these injured animals go? Do you have a place like this that means a lot to you in your community? Well, now it’s time to give back with Huggies!

From April 20th until June 25th, Huggies will be accepting all selfies of you and your baby with the hashtag #UltraHug, and featuring them in a collage on the campaign landing page. On July 6th, voting will begin to narrow down the 20 finalists to 10 winners who will win a $2,000 grant from Huggies for their nominated community initiative.

First, take a selfie of you and your baby and upload that selfie to Twitter or Instagram. Make sure to use the hashtag #UltraHug

In your same post, make sure to include a text nomination (approximately 100 – 120 characters) including a name and/or identifying description of a community project in the US, which you would like to nominate. Make sure the community project is something near and dear to your heart.
